How To Cure Seizures?
Hi,Apparently had seizures from being in a car accident.. I usually get an auras and kinda loss of sight.. they got worse since being taken off Klonopin in september. Around new years I had an episode where it seemed like I may have laid down and sat back up, all seemed strange. Idk if it s a stupid question. Since, my eyes seem like they twitching and I kinda get tingly. Was that a seizure and since it s been almost two months, as well as almost five since last seizure is it worth telling my Dr. I ve been on tegretol and vimpat since September..

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms. They indeed look like seizures and need to be evaluated to find out the type of seizures and the underlying cause.
It is possible that the seizures are related to the head injury. An MRI brain and EEG would be helpful in confirming the diagnosis.
Good anti epileptic medications at a proper dose would prevent recurrence of seizures.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
